Happy Easter! This release focuses primarily on bugfixes. We've been getting reports on a whole bunch of issues, many of which we would have not found without your help. Keep it up!

Again, the 1.14 add-on server is up and running, so go ahead and upload your creations!

Playtest the game, try out some of the API additions for content creators, and write down your observations in a notebook or similar.

If you encounter issues, don’t panic; instead, grab some bug spray and protective gear, and head directly to our instructions for reporting bugs. Most importantly, keep in mind that we can’t know about any bugs you encounter unless you report them to us!

Near the end of the release notes below you will find a list of the most important bugs known at the time of release. Some items are due to be fixed in the next release, but for others we depend on contributed patches from volunteer coders like you! (If you are a coder, that is.)

Check our bug tracker for a full list of bugs and feature requests, including other bugs found after the release was published.

A number of miscellaneous strings throughout the interface were erroneously always displayed in English. They are now properly translated. In addition to this, a few strings that were previously not translatable are now part of the translation catalogues.

All known Linux packagers have been contacted, and binaries for your distribution may have already been created. Information about where to get the respective binaries or how to install them can be found on the Linux binaries page in the wiki.

⁂

The multiplayer server for 1.13.x is up and running. This server can only be used to play with other players running the latest development version.

The add-ons server for 1.14.x is already running. It was started for 1.13.12 and it serves all stable releases from this series.If you encounter any problems involving add-ons not working as expected, please notify the content’s author or maintainer.

If you find any bugs, do not hesitate to report them, but please read the instructions on how to report bugs first! As bug reports in the forums tend to be forgotten, you will get better results using our bug tracker. We need your help for finding and fixing issues, no matter how obvious, trivial or complicated they seem!

Have fun!

What happens when you get scared half to death...twice?

That helped actually, and I found the problem. (Change in KDE: My Apple keyboard now allows you to control music playback with the F keys--which I hadn't noticed--but now you have to hold "fn" to get them to act like F keys.)

Yeah, I found it later, prominently displayed in /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode. That file contains the number "1". If you change it to a "2", you get F keys by default. It should have been obvious.

I don't know if it's specifically intentional (the developer who implemented the new listboxes is long gone, and actually the listboxes aren't that new, they're just used everywhere now instead of the old ones). I don't see significant problem with it though? It might be nice to change it, sure, but I'm not sure if it's worth the effort, unless it's easier than I'm thinking.

Uhhh, no, there isn’t a debate to be had in this situation. Wesnoth isn’t going to be the first or last game with non-standard UI behaviour in this regard, and it’s definitely not the kind of bug that would warrant delaying 1.14.0 because the UI is still usable, just a bit quirky.

(Also, an announcement topic isn’t the most adequate venue for that kind of discussion anyway. We have a bug tracker.)

I notice that the scrolling behavior of the new list boxes in version 1.13 (e.g., the recall list, the campaigns list, the add-ons list, etc.) is different from the list boxes in version 1.12.

In 1.12:

Scrolling with the mouse wheel scrolls the list by one item

Clicking in the scrollbar scrolls the list by a full screen

The Page Up and Page Down keys also scroll the list by a full screen (the same as clicking in the scrollbar)

In 1.13:

Scrolling with the mouse wheel scrolls the list by about half a screen

Clicking in the scrollbar also scrolls the list by about half a screen (the same as scrolling with the mouse wheel)

The Page Up and Page Down keys scroll the list by a full screen (as in 1.12)

Is this change intentional? The 1.12 behavior seems more consistent with most other applications.

At least (2) should be a trivial change, and i agree that the 1.12 behviour makes more sense.

Scenario with Robots SP scenario (1.11/1.12), allows you to build your units with components, PYR No preperation turn 1.12 mp-mod that allows you to select your units immideately after the game begins.
